Author of "Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life ...and Maybe the World​", Admiral William H. McRaven stopped by Bay Books and signed a few copies of his book. He gave a keynote speech at University of Texas that went viral and the book that followed became an instant best seller. We are sold out of the signed copies of his book, but authors often come by our bookstore for a chat and sign their books for us.
